Ash Creek Canyon is more than a place to camp — it’s a hidden world reopened after nearly a century of quiet. Tucked within the Tonto National Forest, this privately owned canyon and historic mining town have remained untouched by the public since 1945. Today, the gates are open once again, inviting adventurers to experience one of Arizona’s most pristine and biologically rich landscapes.
Here, towering canyon walls cradle lush greenery, native wildlife, and the gentle flow of Ash Creek as it winds through the valley. Scenic campsites sit along the water’s edge, offering peaceful views and direct access to hiking trails that lead through diverse ecosystems recognized by Arizona Fish & Game for their exceptional biodiversity.
At the heart of the canyon lies Chrysotile, a long‑forgotten mining town frozen in time. Its remnants add a sense of mystery and history to your stay — a rare chance to explore a piece of Arizona’s past in a setting few have ever seen.
Whether you’re a seasoned camper or experiencing the outdoors for the first time, Ash Creek Canyon offers a blend of tranquility, adventure, and discovery. Set up your tent beneath star‑filled skies, wander through untouched wilderness, or simply relax beside the creek as the canyon walls glow at sunset.
This is nature at its most authentic — a place where adventure meets peace, and where every visit becomes a story worth telling.

I’m not going to lie..when I first got there it was nothing like I expected. First it was the road going down into the canyon..a bit was scary. I do have a 2WD SUV and if Andrew did not come up and escort me down I would have been too scared to attempt it on my own.
He was even gracious enough to get me parked and give me a tour of the mines, jail, old buildings in his Polaris.
Due to my timing there really wasn’t anywhere to swim as the water was very low. I originally booked spot 1 but it was a hot week and there wasn’t a lot of shade so I opted for site 2 which was perfect for me and my dog. I did a little rockhounding in the dry area of creek and found some cool rocks!
When it was time to leave Andrew came over to my site and escorted me back up the scary road and even helped me get past some of the rougher spots. Great host! His wife came by with her daughter on day two to check on me and tell me that the storm looks like it will pass..right before the storm came and lasted about 3 hours. Being from Arizona I know exactly how that goes…if you say the storm will pass it will not. I thought it was scary and fun…thunder was cracking like a whip right outside of my tent! They offered me one of the beautiful cabins to pass the storm in..but I actually enjoyed the fear of the storm from my tent. My dog did not agree with this decision.
Next time I’ll let them pick us up at the top and leave my car. I didn’t even know that was an option.

I had a great time camping at Ash Creek Canyon! When I arrived, Andy offered to take me on a tour of the property on his ATV to help me get an idea of how to spend my time. He was very friendly and knowledgeable of the area and it's history. I ended up taking a beautiful hike along the creek to swim in one of the canyon's several natural pools. Later on I explored one of the old mines, although I wish I had brought extra batteries for my flashlight so I could venture further. At night, the sky was filled with more stars than I think I've seen in my entire life. Overall, the experience felt very private and secluded, which was exactly what I was looking for on this trip. Definitely plan on returning again someday.

Such a fun, off-the-grid weekend. The 3-mile dirt road in is definitely bumpy, so plan your vehicle accordingly—but we made it just fine with a regular car and a small SUV by taking it slow.
The setting is a 10/10—stunning canyon views and total solitude (we had the whole place to ourselves, which felt pretty special). Andrew is a friendly, accommodating host who met us at the site and even took us on a tour of the canyon, sharing some of its mining history along the way.
One unique part of the area is the old chrysotile mine sites. We didn’t fully connect the dots until later (once we had cell service) that chrysotile is a form of asbestos historically used in construction and during WWII. It didn’t take away from the experience at all—just something interesting to be aware of. Peeking briefly into the old Victory mine was definitely a highlight.
Our campsite (#2) was great, with direct access to a trailhead that winds down a few switchbacks to the canyon floor. From there, it’s a beautiful hike along the creek to a small waterfall. Between the peaceful campsite, the incredible night sky, and the sense of adventure, it was a perfect weekend escape.
